In a hand-written note to her glam squad, the mother of three thanked them for helping her get through some of the most challenging times in her life.
‘To my hair and makeup family. Crap, I am crying already,’ the letter began.
‘You have held my hand through some of the toughest days in my career. You hear it all, see it all and share it all with me and I can’t explain how much I am going to miss you all.’
‘There is an unspoken bond between us all and please never forget how special you all are,’ she added.
‘I know this is not goodbye, just goodbye for now. Love to you all, Carrie.’
